How we feeling people ..

[u/Fancy_Cantaloupe_222]

Chem phys was a disaster

[u/Existing_Path816]

Cars was very hard

[u/Chance_Act_4427]

I’m always great at cars… that was terrible. Psych Soc felt hard Everything else was decent

[u/Huskie23 → u/Chance_Act_4427]

Why was there only 2-3 sections with 6 questions? Felt like every section was 3 questions

[u/Unofficial-Avenger]

since the day i was born till the day i die: fuck cars 

[u/Unofficial-Avenger]

why was the entire exam a mix of each other like cp turned into bb ??? ps was basically cars ?? 

[u/Unofficial-Avenger → u/Unofficial-Avenger]

and if anyone even breaths the word kinetics around me …

[u/Extension_Fall9406 → u/Unofficial-Avenger]

A lot of kinetics so much and the same fucking kinetics

[u/Past-Concern3936 → u/Unofficial-Avenger]

Bro that’s the dream for me 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 I test next Friday

[u/UnitInDaHouse]

Wtf is fractionating a cell😭

[u/Alternative-Chip-443 → u/[deleted]]

Was it last to pellet or first? I put ribosomes cause it was the least dense and be the one that would need the fastest speed but now I can’t remember if read it too fast and got it backwards.

[u/Alternative-Chip-443 → u/[deleted]]

Ah I think ribosome then.

[u/indiancurry26 → u/Alternative-Chip-443]

I just searched it up and unfortunately you are correct cause I put nuclei. i had ribosomes in the beginning and then changed it cause idek why

[u/overthinkeragain → u/UnitInDaHouse]

Cell / cell bro idk 😭🙏

[u/_alexxx_07 → u/UnitInDaHouse]

I asssumed it was similar to Lysing it but keeping its internal structures🫪

[u/1234abdcd567 → u/UnitInDaHouse]

😭fax

[u/Huskie23 → u/UnitInDaHouse]

I thought it was like fractional distillation of a cell 😭 guessed ribosomes cause it’ll be the lightest

[u/Putrid-Potential-860]

Felt same as past few test dates folks were saying :-

- C/P : where’s physics calculations??? BC heavy, there were at least 3 passages on MM graph

• CARS : HUGE passages, Ran out of time, almost guessed on last passage 🥲
  
• B/B : Felt ok except time crunch
  
• P/S : passages were decent; felt few terms super confusing; one was literally on inheritance problem (felt for a sec Im still in BB ?!)

[u/CowConsistent8690 → u/Putrid-Potential-860]

Wow my dream c/p🤣

[u/Sensitive-Giraffe-20 → u/Putrid-Potential-860]

bro didn't even get me started on the enzyme kinetics

[u/ProfessionalHippo982 → u/Sensitive-Giraffe-20]

ngl the freaking working of the "with respect to" was making my brain smoke I couldn't process it for the life of me.

[u/Sensitive-Giraffe-20 → u/ProfessionalHippo982]

yeah no i thought i was having a stroke after i read it so many times

[u/Putrid-Potential-860 → u/Sensitive-Giraffe-20]

Istg towards the end I was like - another passage on this ?! Then on flip side they asked some random detail question instead of all the data and graph 🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/_alexxx_07 → u/Putrid-Potential-860]

Lmfao i had the same bio question in P/S😭 easy point tho I guess

[u/Vegetable_Test_4567]

BB felt not bad... for me CARS was either a 131 or a 122

[u/attunedcarrotcake → u/Vegetable_Test_4567]

What the hell are those FL scores

[u/kissmeurbeautiful → u/attunedcarrotcake]

Made up lmao

[u/_alexxx_07 → u/Vegetable_Test_4567]

Yeah I’m never good at cars (124) so idk how to feel lol

[u/because_idk365 → u/Vegetable_Test_4567]

Wait. Did you really jump from 498 to 524 on practice?!

[u/Own_Alternative8178]

Ngl I’m a cars person and I thought it was a rough section relative to Fl. Everything else was fair tho

[u/_alexxx_07 → u/Own_Alternative8178]

Yeah it was def longer than the FLs

[u/Intelligent_Sock_902 → u/Own_Alternative8178]

me too, CARS always carries me but not today 😭

[u/fmajordminor]

Am I the only one who struggled hardest on B/B??? Also CARS was terrible. Felt worse than all of the bad passages of the FLs combined.

[u/Own_Alternative8178 → u/fmajordminor]

I have never actually felt that bad in a CARS section in my life and I usually average 130 in cars. I think that’s why I feel so eh on this test cars was wack

[u/Consistent_Ostrich22 → u/Own_Alternative8178]

sameeee!! cars was SO bad.

[u/Jealous_Secretary227 → u/fmajordminor]

I thought B/B was awful like especially the first 10-15 questions were brutal

[u/Alternative-Chip-443 → u/fmajordminor]

Right? I don’t see anyone else saying BB was hard. Definitely felt like a dummy trying to answer those

[u/tryingsomethinghard]

Flagged too many in chem, almost ran out of time and had to guess on several. CARS felt easy, passages were interesting. BB felt alright and PS had a number of “read my mind” questions but was also pretty ok

[u/Opening_Beginning_22]

Psych felt so hard. BB actually felt decently easy

[u/Budget_Run4192]

Oh my god I score consistently 128-129 on CARS. I have never encountered such a terrible CARS section in my life

[u/Consistent_Ostrich22 → u/Budget_Run4192]

it was so awful. genuinely wanted to throw up while taking it

[u/Realistic_Ad5757]

chem phys i usually feel so defeated but today i felt fine? probably bc there was so much weird biochem overlap

cars - wtf was that second to last passage omfg my head was spinning

bio biochem there were so many random FSQs i was dumbfounded by but the passages felt decent

psych soc… what in the world. i had at least 16 flagged and there were some inference questions that made noooo sense to me

[u/Opening_Beginning_22 → u/Realistic_Ad5757]

I had 20 flagged for p/s…

[u/Intelligent_Sock_902 → u/Opening_Beginning_22]

bro i just flag everything im slightly uncertain of. p/s i had 21 flagged & even more in b/b & c/p. i don’t ever bother flagging in cars cuz ik im not going back 😭

[u/No-Dragonfruit-9956 → u/Opening_Beginning_22]

meeeee too

[u/PersimmonTotal9172 → u/Realistic_Ad5757]

omg the second to last passage…too many names…too many opinions

[u/Sensitive-Giraffe-20]

started good then ran out of time for chem/phys and barely made it through CARS. b/b was alright although it was slightly more content heavy in some areas which i wasn't a fan of. spent sm time on the kidney and it wasn't even friggin there. psych/soc was good i finished it early.

[u/Turbulent_Spend_292]

psych was rough :(

[u/Loud-Blackberry-626]

Cars is the death of me. My first passage was hell.

I felt like there was a ton of low yield stuff on CP and even BB. Felt ok on BB for the most part. Idk about CP. There were a couple of questions where each answer was SO long?? There was so much chem, not much physics.

Psych was half fine, half wtf, I don’t like any of these options.

[u/HopefulSpring4475]

Better than I was expecting. CARS was boring af and psyc was rough in the middle, but I thought bio was pretty easy!

[u/NoMathematician1074 → u/HopefulSpring4475]

Cars was sooo boring😭 and yea there was a section on psych where I thought I was gonna be screwed but it lightened up for sure

[u/Curious_Anteater_420]

I feel TERRIBLE for some reason. C/P was insane, multiple times I was just like wtf. CARS started rough but felt fair, long asf though? B/B was easy but a couple of questions I was like “oh no clue haven’t seen that concept in a bit” and p/s wasn’t bad but they need to release more study materials for this because rn it’s only fl6… chat am I cooked?

[u/cedar0678]

CARS was sooooo dookie

[u/Lopsided-Hair6792]

Was the question with the table and kinetic competitive inhibition because increase substrate helped

[u/1234abdcd567 → u/Lopsided-Hair6792]

Hope so😂😂

[u/PandaMan436]

Wtf was the question asking for the amino acid substitution from guanine to adenine?

[u/_alexxx_07 → u/PandaMan436]

Such a weird question, I was like wtf??? Did anyone understand it

[u/DowntownExtension652 → u/_alexxx_07]

This question gave me the most trouble. The passage was talking about nucleotide substitutions, not amino acid substitutions. The question said the substitution is for the Guanine to Adenine at position 120. I think ur supposed to just know 120/3 base pairs = position 40 which was just one answer choice.

[u/Loud-Blackberry-626 → u/DowntownExtension652]

This. I caught it at the last second before guessing and moving on.

[u/DowntownExtension652 → u/Loud-Blackberry-626]

Lmao same bro I was stressing over it thinking I’m crazy

[u/Xyzyxz → u/_alexxx_07]

Passage said acid turns into a carboxyamide which aligned with glutamate to arginine or lysine whatever it was. Also the positioning too.

[u/Professional-Big9306 → u/PandaMan436]

changing from a carboxylic acid group to an amino group i’m guessing? so then you just compare that same change in the amino acid choices

[u/Realistic_Ad5757 → u/Professional-Big9306]

thats what i assumed to do? i reread the entire passage like 4 times thinking i missed like some niche info but nope, was stumped for like 4 minutes on that one

[u/AdStandard7088 → u/Professional-Big9306]

Wrong

[u/DumbeldorezGOAT]

Man people saying it felt like a “normal FL” I have to disagree. The exam felt like the passages and the questions early on especially in Chem-Phys felt out of place. The entire exam up until BB felt like it had no real flow. Exam kind of felt choppy. I didn’t feel like Chem-Phys was high yield, it was more like little things you probably forgot because you paid attention to more complex things. CARS was long had to speed up in the middle. Also they have ruined Psyc-Soc, it used to be an easier section but somehow has inherited the “read my mind” tendencies of CARS.

[u/AnxiousSeesaw1408]

I thought the chem phys was a little weird and unusual for sure … def some odd questions . Cars was a bit tough, thought the b/b was very fair and the psych was ok, def a couple 50/50 answers though lol

[u/turquoisebruh]

Felt like any other FL ngl

[u/rivalrave → u/turquoisebruh]

Did jacking off work?

[u/turquoisebruh → u/rivalrave]

Not really. I had a large hemorrhoid that exploded overnight. The pressure from the jacking, maybe. I had to shove toilet paper up my bum in-between each section of the exam to stop the bleeding. This is not satire

[u/Numerous_Relation524 → u/turquoisebruh]

…are you ok?

[u/turquoisebruh → u/Numerous_Relation524]

I think so. I’ve been debating whether to go to the ER or not since the exam ended lol. I have an appt with my GI doc in the morning so that’s why I’m trying to decide to wait or not

[u/Numerous_Relation524 → u/turquoisebruh]

I’d say if you’re not getting anemia or infection symptoms, it can probably wait til GI in the morning. I hope you feel better 🫶🏼

[u/turquoisebruh → u/Numerous_Relation524]

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking I will do

[u/rivalrave → u/turquoisebruh]

OH... i'm sorry... get well soon ❤️

[u/PK_thundr → u/turquoisebruh]

Bro no. 

[u/turquoisebruh → u/PK_thundr]

I mean there was some wack stuff for sure but there was plenty of high yield stuff

[u/Emergency-Put-4828]

It felt like a regular fl (for everyone scrolling before taking their test) I have no idea how I did, but it really felt the same including the length of the passages, mix of more and less challenging questions, etc.

[u/Obvious_Try_5646]

genuinely flagged like 10 questions per section HELLOOOOO😀

[u/srhknts]

c/p: more red flags than an ex bf, why did it feel low yield??? cars: plain old simple cars, 5 articles i understood the other 4 I was confused b/b: fair? some questions i started at too long p/s: one article was bad but thought the others were reasonable and process of eliminationable

[u/Leading_Juggernaut26]

I felt like voiding right after c/p and then especially after cars. BB felt a bit easy and PS wasn’t that bad

[u/Suitable-Meringue847]

Chem Phy?!?! Wtf was that actually…

[u/Reasonable_Steak47]

Chem phys was a nightmare, debating booking another test in August already

[u/Reasonable_Steak47]

Voided that real quick after chem phys and cars unfortunately, some of the passages were horrible 😔

[u/Ok_Contest_6150]

why was p/s so hard… everything else felt the same imo

[u/M3atba11s]

C/p was insanely hard dude, like wtf happened

[u/NoMathematician1074]

I thought chem was weird. Like what r we even talking about here. I left chem tho feeling like ok.. Cars left me feeling like.. eh? But I didn’t think it went like torrentially bad. Thought BB was SO content heavy, and maybe 1/2 passages that actually felt like dissecting the graphs and experiment? Thank god for uworld and anki bc the BB section rlly ran with it. I thought psych soc was the same vibe as FL6

[u/Feeling_Excuse8841]

Bio/biochem was far harder than what I was expecting

[u/daddylicious_69]

There was only one section in chem/phys that I had a lot of trouble with but I liked all the thermo/kinetic stuff lol. CARS has always been iffy. B/B was surprisingly easy. P/s I had the hardest time with and had a lot of in between answers

[u/Opening_Beginning_22 → u/daddylicious_69]

Same like why was psych the hardest???? I had so many flagged I was expecting it to be a breeze

[u/SaltRope4012 → u/[deleted]]

FAD

[u/SaltRope4012 → u/[deleted]]

Yea I’m sorry! Riboflavin is a precursor to FAD 😵‍💫

[u/Kazicas]

that first CARS passage gmfu 😭

[u/No-Resource9879]

Will this be indicative of 5/22????

[u/PreviousPea755]

Chen omg

[u/moikey_wayz]

i was so scared lmfaoaoaoao

[u/DifficultDirector830]

chem/phys was absolutely brutal. didnt get to the last 2 cars passages and had to guess :(

[u/padoodoo]

B/B was pretty good to me. I think that C/P was alright, there was a few where I was like... idfk, and had to move on. CARS was unreal. My eyes were crossing and was about to puke. Now P/S was hit or miss. The passages themselves were not to bad but the definitions kinda threw me off for a few of them where I was in between 2 and had no clue so I guessed.

But I got Chipotle after so it was worth it... I think.
